The Huron-Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School
Board meeting Monday night in
Seaforth adopted a proposal made
by Transportation Committee of
the Huron County Board of Educa-
tion subject to the ratification of
that Board, with 'respect to the
integration of the service.
Arthur Haid, R.R. 4, Listowel
I chairman of the transportation
committee, in recommending the
offer', said it was conaidered as
a pilot project in the County and
that further moves towards inte-
gratio,a in other areas will be
determined on the basis of effect-
iveness of the proposal for MC
Killop Township.
. Trustee Held reported an
increased enrollment at St.
Mary's' School irellesson of over
twenty pupils and to meet this
need in transportation facilities-
the board agreed to move a 54-
passenger bus it has stored at
Zurich to Hesson, effectiVe im'-
mediately. There is already a
60-passenger bus at Hesson.
The annual rates for' Board
owned bus operators for the year
-1971-72 were approved for re-
newal at $10 per day and the
rate of $2.50 per hour was ap-
proved for extra r Mauler "
driving requirements. This in-
cludes the transportation of kin-
dergarten students from Ste.
Marie School in St. Joseph to
St. we
ll
School in Zurich,
as well as all classes from Ste.
Marie School to Zurich for the
use of gym 'facilities.
At present bus operators are:
Lee Regier, Zurich; Leroy Des-
Jardine, Zurich; Cecil Raid, Hes-
son; Tony Denotnme, Ste. Marie
School. An additional' operator
will be hired for the bus being
moved to Beeson.
The Board endorsed a 2-6-
point Student Discipline Policy,
which • outlities tips on maintain-
ing discipline on school buses
The department, suggested that
they be removed and replaced
with thaaetandard service club
signs. Council suggested that
if the course of action was taken
perhaps the old signs could be
refurbished and placed at the
North and South entrances to town
or Huron Couaty Road.12.
A proposal from J. F. Me-
Laren Ltd., engineers' for the
Market Street sewer, for super-
vision of construction on the
Market Street sewer was ac-
cepted by council. Salary and
living allowances to a maximum
of $4,919.90' plus mileage were
recommended for a full-time
supervisor for the project in
addition to $1,500 „for general
administration cost. The money
was already budgeted as part
of the expense of the project
but required the consideration
of council before men could be
engaged.
An application from Seaforth
Motors to purchase two steel
•
'light-standards ,,t$20 each was
considered and accepted.-a-ealfaTa
of the standards remained fol-
lowing the main street recon-
struction program when they
were replaced with concrete
poles.
Reeve John Flannery, r eport-
ing for the Public Works Com-
mittee, said that a new gate had
been installed at the entrance
to ,the dump. 'Work on a catch
basin on Coleman Street has been
completed and the department

ming program. A complaint from

garding poor drainage from he
lawn was under investigation said
Mr. Flannery.

foreman, Harold Maloney, at the
end of July, the towa will require
a .new Trench Inspector. Council
appointed Clerk Ernie Williams
to this position effective Aug. 2.
George Hildebrand, chairman-
of the Protection to persons and
Property Committee, asked what
became of the money from the
parking meters now that they
were all paid for. Clerk Ernie
Williams said the money now goes
into the general account. Mr.
Hildebrand said that he thought
the revenue from the meters
'should be placed in a special
account for the use of the Pro-
tection to Persons Committee.
In other business from his
committee, • Mr. Hildebrand re-
queste'd that Clerk Williams pre-
,pare a by-law to authorize the
hiring of auxiliary constable for
the police department for
council's 'consideration at ,the
next meeting.
Under new business, council
passed a by-law (#887) to amend

ment, lots fronting on the south
